Congratulations to the team who participated in the annual Corporate 5K Challenge fun run/walk around North Hagley Park. Our runners achieved an impressive 4th place in the Accounting Teams Division!

It was a fantastic team event and a great night out, topped off with some well-deserved pizza afterwards.

Well done, everyone! 🎉

Mental Health Awareness Week

We've been celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week (this week across both offices) with good food, great conversations, and a little giving back. 🥯🍦From a healthy team breakfast to our fun "Guess Who?" game, where staff shared what they'd be doing if they weren't accountants or administrators, to collecting donations for the Christchurch City Mission and Ashburton's Kai's Up, it's been a wonderful week of connection, wellbeing, and community support.

Looking after mental health starts with supporting each other. 💚

Last week our Partners attended the Accounting Innovators Network (AIN) Annual Conference, held this year in beautiful Fiji. ✈️🌴

From sharing ideas on technology and systems to operational excellence and strategic planning, member firms collaborate and share knowledge to drive positive outcomes for our clients and teams.

We look forward to putting the ideas and insights gained into practice over the coming year!

KiwiSaver contributions are changing! From 1 April 2026, the minimum KiwiSaver contribution rate will increase to 3.5% (currently at 3%). What does that mean for you? Employees will automatically move to a 3.5% contribution rate, and employers will need to match that rate. Starting 1 February, you can apply for a Temporary Rate Reduction, which will allow you to stay at the 3% rate for a limited time if you want to. Reach out to your Client Manager if you have questions, or find out more about the temporary rate reduction here:
